The '''Spawner''' is a [[Flood]] [[Flood pure form|pure form]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=411}} They serve the Flood as mobile gestation pods, creating new forms of Flood in the field as the situation requires.{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Spawners}}
The '''Spawner''' is a [[Flood]] form, created specifically to fight [[Banished]] and [[Installation 00|Ark]] defenses in [[2559]].<ref name="Spawner">'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Spawner</ref>


==Overview==
Spawners were created to quickly venture out of the [[High Charity]] quarantine zone and spread the Flood infection to nearby [[refugia]]. During a Flood assault, Spawners sit near the back of the assault and continuously spawn [[Pod infector]]s to continue besieging an enemy force. If the enemy attacks, the Spawner will spawn a counter-unit that is specialized to deal with it.<ref name="Spawner"/>
Flood Spawners are an example of the Flood's adaptiveness to changing situations; they were first created during the [[Outbreak on Installation 00]] in mid-[[2559]], in response to the defenses put up by the [[Banished]] and [[Sentinel]]s on [[Installation 00|the Ark]].{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} They were first let loose during the [[Clan of the Long Shields]]' opening of [[High Charity]]'s wreckage,{{Ref/Level|HW2|What Could Go Wrong?}} before being used to spread the [[Flood outbreak]] to new [[refugia]].{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}


The Spawner's most notable feature is the brood sac hanging down from its body. Similarly to static [[Flood blister|blisters]], these sacs can be used to grow [[infection form]]s of all kinds.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} During a Flood assault, Spawners sit near the back of the swarm and continuously spawn [[Infection form]]s to continue besieging an enemy force, changing forms depending on the type of enemies they are faced with.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

Spawners serve as the Flood's rough equivalent of a troop transport carrier and - in gameplay purposes - the Flood's answer to either the [[UNSC]]'s [[M650 Mastodon]] or the [[Banished]]'s [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Wraith Invader|Wraith Invader]], although they function differently than a conventional troop transport.
Spawners serve as the Flood's rough equivalent of a troop transport carrier and - in gameplay purposes - the Flood's answer to either the [[UNSC]]'s [[M650 Mastodon]] or the [[Banished]]' [[Wraith Invader]], albeit they function entirely differently than a conventional troop transport.
 
Spawners will take position in the Fog of War and begin spawning either [[Pod infector/Gameplay|Pod infectors]], [[Flood infester form|Infesters]] or [[Seeder infector]]s, depending on what is effective against the units the player is using. However, Spawners are slow, and will succumb to heavy firepower when faced with a diverse array of units.

==Production notes==
In the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', the artwork used to the Spawner and the [[Flood infester form|Infester]] forms are swapped around - one of [[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)#Mistakes|several errors]] in the book. The correct artwork from the Encyclopedia is used at the top of this page.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
